This statue depicts Frédéric Chopin sitting under a weeping willow in the wind. It represents his connection with nature and shows a moment where Chopin is resting with his eyes closed and hand extended, as if playing on an invisible piano.
Chopin was a famous 19th-century composer whose music is still recognized today. He grew up in Warsaw and stayed there until he was 20, after which he moved to Paris.
